EastEnders viewers have pointed out a glaring error in the ongoing storyline regarding serial killer Gray Atkins (Toby Alexander-Smith).Whitney Dean (Shona McGarty) and Kheerat Panesar (Jaz Deol) are still looking for evidence to bring him down for murdering his late wife Chantelle Atkins after the pair rumbled the horrific abuse ordeal in December.After finding messages on a domestic abuse forum, Whitney realised Gray has been harming Chantelle before her tragic death and soon believed he killed her.Her theory has been supported by Kheerat and the pair are trying to expose the evil murderer unbeknown to the fact that Gray has also murdered Tina Carter (Luisa Bradhsaw-White) and Kush Kazemi (Davood Ghadami).The pair have yet to find proof that Gray was responsble for ending Chantelle's life but are taking matters into their own hands.Whitney recently went to the police to report Gray as Chantelle's killer but things don't seem to be going to plan.While watching at home, fans were left wondering why Chantelle's grieving parents Karen Taylor (Lorraine Stanley) and Mitch Baker (Roger Griffiths).One fan penned: I can’t believe that Whitney has reported Chantelle’s murder by Gray to the police and shown them the forums, yet Mitch and Karen don’t have a clue about any of this."Another added: "Sorry but I think it’s vile that Whitney hasn’t even told Chantelle’s own parents about how she really died. Karen and Mitch have more chance of taking Gray down than Whitney.""I'm watching and I don't feel anything.
